auraient dû partir ou seraient dû partir
This question relates to:French lesson "Conjugate devoir in the pluperfect tense in French (Le Plus-que-Parfait)"

Hi C,
It is because the verb 'devoir' takes the auxiliary 'avoir' ( and not être) in compound tenses -
J'ai dû partir = I had to leave
J'avais dû partir = I had had to leave
J'aurais dû partir = I should have left
